BIG BLOCKER nutjobs REEEEEEEEE!
Suggest a better (implementable in the real world) alternative for getting more throughput. Any of you.

If it was easy, we would not be where we are right now. Decentralisation comes with trade offs.
It is easy. The upgrade should have been bigger blocks instead of or along with segwit. Only reason it didn't and hasn't happened is bullshit tribal politics, not any actual practical reason.

Maybe... But then the adoption of Segwit and, more importantly, LN would have been delayed indefinitely. No pain, no gain Wink

It just serves for a bigger purpose.
Segwit is not being adopted. And LN will be largely a niche gimmick. We need something that works across the board, something that, unlike segwit, is NOT OPTIONAL.
